Excerpt from Mrs. Rasher's Curtain LecturesI wish you would quit them everlasting puns. It's vulgar to pun a very low species of wit, indeed; I heard Mrs. De Longue say so, the night I was to her reception. You can't help it; you must interlard your conversation with 'em? Good Lord, Rasher! Whatever else you do, leave your business be hind you when you come home. I declare, the very silk curtains in the parlor have an odor of it! Don't bristle up so? There it comes again it's enough to drive a woman mad! You can't help cutting up you're so used to it? N ow, look a-here, husband, we're going to settle this matter about the house this morning, or we're not going to settle it. If you'll quit that nonsense and listen to reason, I'll tell you what my ideas are; but if you don't, I won't say another word. Then you guess you'll keep on? And if you do you won't get me to keep still. That's just what you want; you'd be glad if I never opened my lips, though which of us is capable of speaking with the most pro priety I'll leave other people to judge.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
